10 things I learned from my mother that I still do {or am trying to be better at} and hope to teach my kids:

- Make your bed. In the morning. Every morning.- Dinner isn’t complete without vegetables as a side dish.- Pick up after yourself. Especially shoes. No one likes to trip over shoes.- Bargain shop and cost compare at the grocery store.- Be creative. Find new ways to do what you have to do.- Eat dinner as a family as often as possible. Without TV.- Be resourceful. Look around you for solutions to everyday problems.- Keep lots of fresh fruit in the house. Kids won’t feel deprived on the snack front and it may just save you trips to the dentist.- Work hard and take pride in what you do.- Real love means you kiss on the lips.
